If the light stays on, or comes on when you’re driving,
your vehicle needs service. You will also hear a
chime sound when the light is on steady. If the regular
brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have
brakes,
but
you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the
regular brake system warning light is also on you don’t
have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with
your regular brakes. In addition
to
both lights, you will
also hear a chime sound on the first occurrence of
a problem and each time the car is shut
off
and then
restarted. See Brake System Warning Light
on
page
3-37.

If the light doesn’t come on then, the system may
require service; have it fixed
so
it will be there
to
warn
you
if
the system
is
turned off.

This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
It
also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle is
working. During a majority of the operation, the gage
will read 210°F (100°C) or less. If you are pulling a load
or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature
to
fluctuate and approach the
250°F
(122°C) mark. If the
gage reaches the
260°F
(125°C)
mark, it indicates
that the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
